louise bourgeois

I first saw Louise Bourgeois' work many years ago at a big retrospective at the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Although she mainly works in sculpture and installations I remember being very taken by her drawings. She has such a personal language and a real sense of economy in her style. She is also hugely prolific and strikes me as the kind of artist who draws continually (judging by the quantity and quality of her drawings).
